GREAT injustice is done Governor Gordon, of
Georgia, by those newspapers that attribute the
largely increased Republican majority in Ohio
to Governor Forakers popularity. They ignore
the effect of Governor Gordons speeches-Mil-

WHEN the Canadian provinces admitted

THE man who cherishes in his heart the be-
lief that he is victim of misfortune, of chance,
of ill luck; he who day by day ponders what
he lacks, and not on what he has; who traces his
misfortunes to others, and not to himself is as
far out of the true path as a man can well be.
The longer he travels that road the worse for
him.
IT is Just now the cue to write down Sparks
because he was impracticable enough to take
the President at his word and to believe his
party meant what it said. But his letter will
live longer than Lamars, because he tells the
truth. Sparks may be a fool, but we would
rather De IndJ imam Wi1db lie SHOWS LdHlar anu

LIBERTY of speech, the freedom of press,
freedom of opinion, does not mean liberty to
urge one class of citizens to rob, murder and
destroy other classes of citizens A few more
indictments such as that against Most will force
this idea through the skulls of the Anarchists
and save the land from the necessity of hanging
them for murder.-Louisville Commercial.
A FREE-TRADE measure, or anything like it
based on the Ohio platform. cannot pass the
Democratic House any more than 1t can pass
the Senate and as there is to be presidential
election next year, the Democrats should not at
tempt to fool with the tariff, especially at time
workmen SO busy and well paid, and who do not
wish their prosperity disturbed by tarifwrang-
ling. A proper revision of the tariff after the
national contest the Republicans would unite
with the Democrats to make, but a free-trade
revision of the tariff the Democrats will not be
allowed to make at any tima.-Philadelphi

REPUBLICAN papers in Michigan are max

printing letters written by him at a period
when he had withdrawn from the Democratic
party in disgust. One of the intervals of po-
litical Iucidity was Immediately following the
defeat Of Greeley, and Mr.. Dickinson unbur-
dened his mind during its continuance by be-
rating the Democrats with having t'chosen to

He further announced that he chad more

The story of wonderful volcanic
outbreak on the little island of Ninatu.
situated in close proximity to the
Friendly group in the South Pacific
ocean, was narrated by sailor to
San Francisco Chronicle reporter.
The man had been serving on the
colonial steamer Suya, which phys from
Leonka, Fiji. around the South Sea
islands, and was on the steamer when
she visited the scene of the disaster.
The main incidents were told to him by
n trader who was on the island.
The island of Ninatu is small and of
a round shape. In its center there
used to be large, clear lake, studded
with islets, and it looked as if the lake
occupied the crater of some extinct
volcano. A very lovely spot was this
island before the eruption, covered as
it was with vegetation, eocoanut trees,
bananas, breadfruits. and gardens
where the natives cultivated patches of
yams, taro, and sweet potatoes. But
now it looks like a great gray mass of
volcanic rock, covered with ashes and
lava.
On the night of August 2S, 1886, the
natives were startled by earthquake
shocks, heavy lightning and thunder.
and rain. They were SO scared that
the six villages on the east side of the
island were abandoned, and in COM
pany with three white traders the
natives went to the lee or west shore.
The quakes and storm continued for
three days, and on the 3Ist of August q
huge pillar of flame shot up from the
center of the lake, accompanied by
columns of boiling water and showers
of stone and pumice. The waters of
the lake boiled and secthed, and then
from its bosom a cone of land started
up. Four craters upon this new up
heaval began to vomit fire, stones,
ashes, and scoria, covering the island
and burning up every particle of vege-
tation. This war of the elements con-
tinued for ten days. and everything
was covered with volcanic dust to u
depth of many feet. A canoe in which
the natives used to 60 across to another
island for shelter was buried thirty feet
under ashes and lava, and they had just
succeeded in digging it out when the
steamer Suva hoye in sight. 1t was
found that the natives had but five
days provisions. and that although the
volcanic convulsions had ceased, they
were very much frightened. As the
Suva could not carry many passengers,
she went over to Tonga, and two
schooners were dispatched to the relief
of the sufferers. A plentiful supply of
breadfruits, bananas, taro, and yams
were taken, and the natives will be
transported to other islands, as the en-
tire crop of their lands on NiEatu has
been destroyed.
The captain of the Suva sounded all
round the island, and ascertained that
the water in the harbor had increased
in depth. Land and sea birds that were
numerous before the eruption had en-
tirely desert ed the island. and where
was a smiling landscape is now desc
late lava and pumice covered scene.
Volumes of steam were ascending from
the lake when the Suva left on her re-
turn trip to Fiji.

The Telephone Decision.

The effort of the government to confer
value on Mr.. Garland's Pan Electric stock
by annuling the Bell patents has just encoun-
tered another snag. The District Court at
Boston has just thrown out the governments
suit ON the ground that the government has
no authority to bring an action to annul
patent on account Of fraud, except such au-
thority be given it by express statute. Such
proceedings must be left to the private par
ties who are aggrieved. That is to say. it
would be perfectly legal and proper for Mr..
Garland to bring suit in his own name to
boom the Pan Electric, but he cannot get the
government to do it for him, unless he can
prevail upon Congress to confer that authori-
ty expressly by statute.
The origin and progress of this suit are
probably pretty well remembered by the pub
lie. 1t was begun practically by band
of sharpers, who succeeded in catching Mr.
Garland in their tolls and making him and
his department their dupes. The suit was
originally brought on the order OF Solicitor
General Goode in the United States court at
Memphis, September, 1885, Subsequently II
was withdrawn to give the President and
OaDlhet an opportunity to review Mr.
Goodes decision and decide neither the case
should go on. The administration commit

OF good many prominent leaders of its own

party, and the suit was begun again, this
time at Columbus. The court, however,
threw it out on the ground that it should
have been brought at the place where the
Bell Company had its headquarters, which
was Boston. Then the suit was begun
again, this time at Boston. The court has
now thrown it out on the grounds above
stated
Two courses are open to the government.
1t can abandon the suit or it can carry it up
to the Supreme Court of the U nited States.
Ii 1t should adopt the former course nobody's
interests will suffer, because all the questions
raised in the suit are before the court now in
other actions. The question of fraud and
the question of novelty are both before the
Supreme Court. Besides the carrying of
the case further can hardly fail to revive the
recollection of the scandal connected with it,
and that one would think the President would
be anxious to avoid. The administration,
however, has acted throughout the case as
If it were in pursuit of last ditch 1t has
had several opportunities as good as the
present one to draw out of it, which it has
neglected to avail itself Of 1t is not proba-
bic, therefore, that it will avail itself of this
one.
